Prohibits the state from borrowing or taking funds used for transportation, redevelopment, or local, government projects and services. Initiative constitution amendment.

No on Prop 22:

· Proposition 22 reduces funding for education, shrink budgets for fire and public safety and make it even harder to balance the state's general fund budget.

· Proposition 22 also locks in protections for redevelopment agencies into California's constitution. They use local property taxes to fund subsidies for local developers — with no direct voter oversight.

· Amending California's constitution to reduce education funding, shrink budgets for fire and public safety and make it much harder to balance the state budget is the wrong choice.

Yes on Prop 22:

· Prop 22 is supported by a broad coalition of business, labor, environmental and taxpayer advocates -- including more than 60 local chambers of commerce and over 300 California cities.

· Proposition 22 protects vital local services

-Emergency 911 response

-Police, fire and paramedics

-Road improvements and public transit

-Park and libraries

-Senior services and youth services

The facts about Proposition 22:

Your tax dollars should go first to schools, public safety, healthcare and social services safety nets. It should go LAST to local bureaucrats, developers and to the redevelopment agencies that support Proposition 22.

Cuts to Public Education Funding

It takes away almost one billion dollars from our schools right away and $400 million a year after that. Our public schools are already suffering from crippling budget cuts and Proposition 22 would devastate.

Cuts to Fire Districts

Prop 22 takes money from fire districts across the state. This leaves us all in greater danger from fires, earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters.

Cuts to In Home Support

In Home Support Services that allow senior citizens and the disabled to live with dignity in their own homes will be targeted for further cuts if Proposition 22 passes.

Cuts to Health Care Services

Prop 22 cuts funding for health care at a time when our safety net for children is already about to collapse
